Eugene Wambaugh

Eugene Wambaugh (February 29, 1856–August 6, 1940) was an American legal scholar. He was born on a farm near Brookville, Ohio to Rev. A. B. Wambaugh and Sarah Wells Wambaugh. He was educated at Harvard (A.B., 1876; LL.B., 1880). Admitted to the Ohio bar in 1880, he practiced law in Cincinnati until 1889. He was professor of law at the State University of Iowa from 1899 to 92 and thenceforth at Harvard. In 1906-13 he was a member of the "American Political Science Review", and in 1908-12 served as special attorney of the United States Bureau of Corporations. Several universities gave him the honorary degree of LL.D. His publications include:
* "The Study of Cases" (1892; second edition, 1894)
* "Cases for Analysis" (1894)
* "A Selection of Cases on Agency" (1896)
* "Littleton's Tenures" (1903)
* "A Selection of Cases on Constitutional Law" (four volumes, 1914-15)

Wambaugh was an adviser to the State Department on war problems in 1914 and was discharged honorably from the U.S. Army in 1919 with the rank of colonel. He retired from Harvard Law School in 1925.

Wambaugh married Anna S. Hemphill (d. May 1938) of Ripley, Ohio in 1881. Their children were Sarah, an international authority on plebiscites, and Miles, a Boston attorney. Eugene Wambaugh died at his summer home in Dublin, New Hampshire.
